What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles building cloud-native data platforms and GenAI integrations, driving technical roadmaps, and delivering compliant, scalable solutions with opportunities for mentorship and impact.

Currently serving as Senior Data & AI Architect at Banesco Banco in the Dominican Republic, where I design and manage enterprise data platforms across AWS, GCP, and Azure. My most impactful project was building an AI-powered contract generation system using Google Document AI and Gemini — reducing processing time by 97%. I also architect data lakes processing hundreds of gigabytes daily across multiple core banking systems.

I have hands-on experience building RAG architectures with vector databases (pgvector), designing AI agent systems, and integrating LLMs into production workflows. Core stack: Python, SQL, BigQuery, SQL Server, FastAPI, Gemini, and various AI/ML frameworks. Deep experience in ETL/ELT pipelines, data quality management, regulatory compliance reporting, and integrating fragmented data ecosystems into unified architectures.

Looking for remote roles in data engineering, data architecture, AI/ML engineering, or technical leadership — especially at companies solving complex integration or optimization problems. Bilingual: English and Spanish.
